What the filing says
Otter Tail Corporation agreed to pay $103.5 million to settle U.S. antitrust class action litigation related to PVC pipe, without admitting wrongdoing. The settlement covers three putative classes. This $103.5M pre-tax charge (approximately $77.2M after-tax at 25.4% tax rate) caused the company to lower 2026 diluted EPS guidance from $5.22–$5.62 to $3.84–$4.24, though adjusted EPS guidance (excluding the settlement) was raised to $5.68–$6.08, reflecting improved underlying operating performance in Manufacturing and Plastics segments.
Why this rating
Settlement reduces 2026 EPS by ~$1.84/share (~32% of original guidance), material relative to $3.1B market cap. Underlying business strength evident; litigation risk now resolved.
